In 2011, I was robbed at gunpoint outside my condo as a direct result of things I said on forums. From that moment on, I felt if I was going to continue to share my experiences of a mid-level card counter making a living in Vegas that I would have to be sure
anyone looking to find me couldn't. I was specifically thinking of thieves and thugs like the one that robbed me as well as casino personnel, including that database personnel that read these forums.
I accomplished this by lying, exaggerating, making up some shit about my personal life and situation, that would serve to misdirect anyone looking for me. No one should have cared about any of that shit anyway, except the very people I was trying to send on a wild goose chase. I mean, I don't know or care the personal situations of most AP's. If someone says they live on the moon and fly home every night, what do I care. If someone says they can transform themselves into a street sign at night, what do I care. If someone says they live with this person or that or are married to this or that, what do I care. I care about only what they post about gambling and advantage play.
So why the fuck should anyone care if I say I have or had a partner twenty years older than me when I didn't. It meant that anyone looking for me, and add trolls like Singer, Mdawg to that mix was now looking for a 5'8", 155 lb blond guy with a heavy 20 year older boyfriend. That is what I felt I had to do to protect myself, so that I could share what I wanted to share....what Druff calls my "quality" posts.
And it served me well.
Now the back-room story occurred exactly as I stated, including the broken arm. Fuck Dr AccountinQuestion, who thinks a person can't fracture an arm by banging it on a
metal desk. He is wrong about most things these days. My first instinct was to not pursue anything. People here, including Druff, Axelwolf, Mickey and even Maxpen made good points that I should pursue something and I reconsidered. I especially liked Axelwolf's suggestion of pursuing a settlement. That is what I decided to do. I was never going to pursue it to court, just get the best settlement I could. I was surprised at how quickly and willingly they settled. Makes me wonder what I could have got had I been willing to give up my identity and gone the distance. But I am happy with the settlement amount.
So while waiting for the money to hit my account, the story broke. I am not going to tell where it broke because there is personal information I don't want known. I was sure Dan Druff or somebody would post and/or link to the story. A couple days went by and no one did. I don't know who broke the story, complete with details inclduing my identity, but there were only two parties that knew about it and it wasn't my side.
It makes no sense that it was the other party either, so maybe an employee or something. I have no idea.
I had been talking about the case, when the story broke, so I just made up the lawsuit part starting with the casino being served. I figured it was better for someone like Mdawg to be searching the court records for a case he wouldn't find than to be looking for this story that broke. Maybe that was panic. Maybe I didn't need to make up that lawsuit stuff and no one would have seen the story. I don't know.
It was Mdawg that I was afraid of finding out my information. He had attempted to dox me before. The only reason he didn't succeed is because I sent him on a wild goose chase with the wrong information. I didn't want him to get the correct information. Maxpen wasn't even in the picture. Honestly, if Maxpen has contacted me privately before he went on his "mission", I would have told him what was going on in confidence. But he didn't do that. I don't blame Maxpen for that, but don't understand all the false things he has been saying since. Things like he has seen me playing low stakes. If he really thinks that, he is wrong, but it just seems like he now has some issue and is out to harm me.
I am not directing anybody to this information. I don't care who believes what. Anyone even asking me for proof or to direct them, how about you post up your personal information or bank account info, or a picture of yourself? (Not you Druff, as you are not anonymous). Otherwise fuck off. I do what I feel I need to do to protect myself, so I can share what I would like to share and I don't really give a fuck what anybody thinks.... especially the trolls of which there now are many on this forum, including some APs.
I am not going to discuss it any further. Beleive whatever you like. Doesn't matter to, nor effect me.

I also though mickeycrimm, JBJB and Axelwolf always understood what was going on. Maybe I was wrong. I also though Maxpen understood, but in the end, I guess I was wrong about Maxpen. In the end it isn't about who know or didn't know. It was that I put out a carrot for casino personnel to chase and ended up a bunch of trolls and even some back-stabbing AP's chased the carrot.
